Reminiscent of the card game "Set," the object of this fast-paced, casual video game is to observe the "Me" piece and then select all other pieces on the board that share at least 2 of the following 3 attributes: color, shape, and pattern. There are games modes for all types of players! — RANKS — There are 7 ranks that you can unlock as you improve over time. Each rank increases the number of levels per game. In order to unlock the next higher rank, you have to clear 3 perfect levels at the current rank. Are you a "Super Selector"? — GAME MODES — Basic Mode This is the default mode. Your game starts with a one minute countdown. Clear as many levels as possible. Getting a level right on your first guess adds 3 seconds to the countdown. At first, players typically only clear a few levels per game. Eventually, players start clearing 100s of levels per game! Daily Challenge Compete with your friends with daily, pre-generated levels. The number of levels in your daily challenge is dependant on your current rank. Zen Mode No timer and no stress. Think of this as a flow enabling, fidget-spinning brain trainer.
